Last Saturday evening Monterey held joy- ful celebration of the dawn of a new era of shipping and commercial ac- tivity that the enterprise of the Coal- inga Oil Transportation Company has brought to the historic town. The various commercia! and sociai nizations had prepared a pro. me that will long stand out the anr f Monterey.

Former State Senator Frank J. Moffitt !is criticallv 11l at his residence, Filbert and Eighteenth streets. His recovery is j extremely doubtful. He has been ill for several months, but at intervals had re- cuperated and gained strength until a recurrence of his trouble prostrated him ten days ago. Since then the patient has been grad- ) ually sinking, and his condition became so alarming to-day that his physicians | say the case is almost hopeless. | Dr. S. H. Buteau, the family physi- | cian, who has charge of the case, to- day summoned Dr. E. H. Woolsey of | this city and Dr. McConnell of San Francisco in consultation. After a close examination the physicians decided that the administration of extreme remedies to meet the low action of the heart was necessary. Owing to Moffitt's debilitated condition the doctors fear that he has not sufficient vitality to rally. Moffitt has been one of the prominent characters in the political life of Cali- fornia. His activity in affairs in this city has given him a wide prominence, both in politics, in journalism and it business. For many yvears he conductes the Oakland Times through the heat o1 hard-fought campaigns, in which the blows given and taken were far from i being love taps. Senator Moffitt is mar- ried and has a son, Jefferson Moffit\. —— RETIRED CAPITALIST IS CALLED BY DEATH Henry Mellmann Passes Away at His Home in Oakland—W. H. Rouse Dies in Nevada.

T. Nance, military instructor at the Uni- versity, to-day delivered his report to ) President Wheeler in, the cases of for-] ty-eight of the sixty-three seniors who were charged with insubordination and riotous conduct, the suspense of the ac- cused men continues. They still are ignorant of their fate. They do not know whether Nance has recommended their dismissal, or whether he has de- cided to accept the excuses made to him as satisfactroy. President Wheel- er refuses to state what Captin Nance has reported. Captain Nance refers all auestioners to the president. The President has nothing to say. “I cannot be inteérviewed again on thie matter,” sald President Wheeler this afternoon. “All in good time, whatever is done, will be known.” W. T. Hale, editor of the Daily Cali- fornian, a college publication, who was called before the students® affairs com- mittee of the faculty last week to ex- plain his editorials, which were strenu- ously 6bjected to by the commitee, said to-day that the controversy of the seniors with Captain Nance will be taken eventually to the academic senate, a body composed of the pro- fessors and instructors of the univer- sity, who will be asked to rule upon the justness of the military instructor’s ac- tion, if that action results in the dis- missal of senlors from the military class, and so from the university. Said Hale to-day: 1 to make this appeal to the d in the event of our dismissal being {he Deivileme. If It-In demonatrated. that Cap- tan Nance was not corrying out any specific regulation of the War Department in directing the class to iine up in front of North Hall, but merely was carrying out his idea of what con- stituted discipline, then the senate will be comretent to revise that order and decide upon the wisdoni and advisability of th In the casss’of individual s feel that they have been treate havs not had the hearinz befr to which they are entitled, the asked to consider the facts, from the students standpoint, and decide whether they have been unfairiy condemned. Hale was Informed by Captain Nance to-day that a special report in his case had been made by Professor W. A. Setchell of the students’ affairs com- mittee, Setchell having reported, ac- cording to Hale, that the young editor’'s conduct at the riot on the campus was reprehensible. Some of the students have attempted to excuse themselves to Captain Nance, for failure to be present at the recita- tion. when the original trouble oc- curred, by saying that they simply cut that recitation. J. L. Dobbins, a senjor, to-day made this explanation to Nance and was informed that it could not be considered a suffcient excuse. This point, it is said, will be brought before the academic senate Captain Nance, with his adjutants, drilled the cadets as usual thig morn- ing on the dampus and the old football field. Colonel Robert Moulthrop, who has been instrumental in organizing the military department of the univer- sity, isted in the drill. After the [S Senate will be cadets had been drawn up in hollow formation, Colonel Moulthrop s follows: square me thiugs have happened recently that in way have reflected credit on your university.

No one wants to tyrannize over you, or to make this work galling or irksome. All the Gevernment asks in return for the $100,000 it gives the university is that we maintain a mili- tary Gepartment.

He has rendered this country valuable service In China and the Philippines, and |s now stationed here to carry cut the Government's plan. If you men obey the regulations the work can be made pleasant and will be productive of great good to all. Im- licit and absolute obedience is necessary, how- ever. No military department can b maintained without it. To be able subject yourself completely to properly constituted authority fs a fine thing and rhould in no way be thought to indicate subserviency on the part of those who €0 obey the regulations. —_———— Drunken Parvents Blamed.. Coroner Leland held an inquest yesterday on the bodr of Lawrence Aver, four months and two weeks old, who died in his mother’s arms November 16 after she had tramped the streets for several hours while in- toxicated. The jury returned a ver- dict that death was. due to neglect by its parents. They exonerated the landlady. Mrs. Hicks, from any blame.

Nov. 21.—The Bay Cities Water Company’s proposal to establish a municipal water supply for the city of Oakland has been recom- mended to the City Council for adop- tion by unanimous vote of the special committee on water supply. This ac- tion is the result of the canvass made by the committee, which returned a vote of 3054 for the Bay Citles project as against 1545 for the arte- sian wells plan. The report of the committee was made to-night to the City Council and it was referred to the committee of the whole, which will meet Friday night. On motion of Councilman B. H. Pendleton the City Attorney was di- rected to consult with the attorneys of the Bay Cities Water Company with relation to the preparation of a con-| tract of construction of the plant. Under the terms of the company’s proposition a nlant will be installed to bring not less than 20,000,000 gal- | lons daily to the southern boundary of the city. This is to cost $3,750,000. COMPANY'S AGREEMENTS. The company has also agreed to in- stall a distributing system to cost ap- proximately $1,500.000, making the total cost of the plant $5,250,000. In view of the committee’'s recom- mendation it is assured that the City Council will submit this proposition to a vote of the people at a bond elec- tion to be called as soon as legal re- quirements can be met. The canvass of the citizens, which was ended to-day, gave a total vote of 7122, or within 400 of the total vote that was cast at the recent bond election for ~ public improvements. The cards returned showed pref- erences as follows: Five thousand and fifty-four are for the Bay Citles Water Company's proposition, 1345 are for the wells supply, 65 are for either. 306 are against both propositione, 92 were rejected, of which 52 were not signed, 22 expressed no opinion and 18 for miscellaneous reasons. Of the 368 votes against both propositions, 57 expreseed a preference for the Contra Costa Water Company’s plant, 23 were against municipal ownershin on principle. 23 miscel- leaneous reasons were given, and 263 gave no reason.
